No one really tells you how hard it is to start your life over at 40…
To become a single mom, lose a job you truly loved (and the people you loved working with), and then have the courage to completely change direction. To walk into esthetician school as part of the very first class at Collin College, not knowing exactly how it would all unfold—but trusting it anyway. To go through spine surgery… and do it all 977 miles away from your family, your friends, and everything that once felt like “home.”
And yet… here I am.
Last night, I felt something I haven’t felt in a long time—pure, overwhelming gratitude. To be surrounded by such incredible friends who showed up for me, loved on me, celebrated me… it meant more than I could ever put into words. You reminded me that even when life breaks you down, it also rebuilds you through the people it places beside you.
This year has been one of the most challenging—and also the most transformative—of my life. And somehow, in the middle of all of it, the most beautiful opportunities are finding me.
I am beyond honored and grateful to be stepping into a new chapter working for an inspiring and beautiful esthetician (more to come 🥰) - an opportunity that feels so aligned with everything I’ve been building and believing in as a passionate esthetician myself. And to also be expanding into a new chapter with the bank (I’m baaaaaack 💚💙)… it feels like proof that when you don’t give up on yourself, life meets you in ways you never expected.
I’m still healing. I’m still growing. But I’m also rising.
Thank you to everyone who has stood by me, believed in me, and poured into me—especially last night. I will never forget it.
Here’s to rebuilding, to resilience, and to becoming the woman I was always meant to be 💗
